Hey Blue_Caddy...what's something this BBall team does have?

basketball and then make the ridiculous claims you do in your post.

Brownell has more of his players and less of Purnell's?

First off this was Brownell's "second" recruiting class, and I put second in "s because Stanton was his only recruit last year and he transferred.

Not to mention the two transfers of Johnson and Hill.

Grant did almost nothing under Purnell but Brownell gets here and his play skyrockets.

You have to understand that this team has no backup guards that are upperclassmen, and neither of the two senior guards are TRUE POINT GUARDS. What do most of the top teams in the NCAA have? A solid, true point guard.

We are playing literally 5 true freshmen in every game and when you have Milton Jennings out of a game it is hard to win, regardless of how poor he is on the court he is better than the freshmen at this point.

This is what is called a rebuilding year when you lose your four year starting point guard and the heart and soul of this team.

If you thought this team would make it to the tourney easily then you are the one that is delusional.

I see KJ, TJ, Rod, Coleman, Sullivan, and some freshman who never gets to play. That's five and five--that means Brownell has MORE of his players and FEWER of Purnell's players...Stitt and Grant are gone. Learn to read.

Grant was a sophomore when Purnell left. There's nothing to suggest that he wouldnt've gotten better had Purnell stayed. Did Stitt get better under Purnell? Yes. Did Trevor? Yes. Did Tanner? Yes.

I never said I thought we'd make it to the tourney...once again, learn to read. But wouldn't you say we're better than BC? Or VT? Or USC? Or CofC? Or Coastal? Or Hawaii? Those are games that were winnable. It's not like Brownell is working magic this year. The FSU game is the only game we've played better than we really are, and I doubt we'd have that same result if we played them now.

People on this board whined about OP. Well--OP had HUGE success here for Clemson basketball. Those same folks are now trying to deify Brownell because his teams are playing mediocre basketball. It's ridiculous. When he gets us to the tourney three straight years with HIS players, we can talk. Until then, it's YOU that doesn't understand basketball.

Learn to count. The players you listed as Purnell's adds up

Reading comp. 101--I didn't say there are more Brownell

It's called interpretation and your comment could have been
